Just as one data point, FWIW:  

If I open _any_ PDF document with Acrobat 7.0 Standard under OS 
10.4.11and select File >> Print, the Acrobat Print dialog box that opens 
does have the usual Preview button and the "PDF" drop down menu button 
down at the bottom (along with other options plus a kind of preview pane 
in the dialog itself), and these buttons are not greyed out.

But if I attempt to select either the Preview button or the Save as PDF 
option in the PDF drop-down menu, I get a message "Preview [or Save to 
PDF] is not supported".  

I can go ahead and print to a printer from the Acrobat Print dialog 
itself, but these Mac-specific options definitely do not work.

So far as I can tell, this occurs for _all_ PDF documents, not just 
password-protected ones.
